Penguin Potter Glazes - Specialty Series - Cone 6-16 oz (Fire Road)

The media could not be loaded. Firstly, nothing comes out like the pictures in my experience. That said… I did a test firing swatch on a darker clay body to cone 6 and it came out so beautiful. It’s higher level of opacity worked really nicely on the darker clay. It is a shimmering type of blue with a lot of depth and multiplicity of tones. Something one doesn’t normally get from the more opaque glazes…So it’s best of both worlds here.That said keep in mind I’ve only done a test swatch...So there is more to discover. I can’t wait to use it more in my next firings.

Love this glaze with its depth that shows a hint of gold within the structure of the glaze. Turns brown in contact with clear zinc free glaze (HF-9). Quite runny so provide a dam grove at the bottom of the piece to catch and control the run.

Bought for niece for Christmas l. She is taking pottery classes and it works great. Beautiful color.

I'm not one to leave reviews. If I get a product that works, I rate it accordingly. unfortunately, thats not the case here.what I received was a watery pint jar that I thought I had to mix. I've made my own mixes before and I stirred and stirred. at some point, it should mix into a thick-like (cream) consistency. This didn't happen. I followed the limited instructions on the jar, and fired it in the kiln and the coloring came out brown. like 80's paneling brown. No sparkle or pooling. so I mixed it again and even added gum (Arabic) to it and it didn't thicken up. then I realized what I thought was the bottom of the jar...was SOLID MATERIALS OF THE MIX. Again, I've made my own mixes off of Glazey; I have had them on my work shelf for over 6 months and I CAN STILL MIX THEM to make a glaze with a whisk. I mixed this glaze with a whisk, but it didn't work. I grabbed my drill mixer and it sort of worked but remained watery. I mixed it for over an hour and finally got the materials somewhat mixed. I brushed it on and shoved it in the kiln. still came out 80's wood panel brown. I'm sorry but the lack of quality has turned me off from any more purchases from this company. Please, fellow potters, do not try this mix. it'll waste your time and money and worst of all, your work. I'm thankful I tried this on a test piece because it was the worst.

Fired to come 6, brushed onto this figure I made. It was pretty difficult to mix because everything was at the bottom. Needed to be mixed and added water to help thin for brushing but a lot of chunks wouldn’t dissolve. It looks nice but it’s less bright than the picture

Needs three good coats of enchantmint and a solid or hot cone 6 firing. Anything less and it’s dull. It’s so beautiful when fired well

This floating blue glaze came out much lighter blue than the pictured sample when applied to my (white) Dover clay body. It didn’t run which was nice. I’m going to try it on a red clay body and see if that is more like the pictured sample.

This is my favorite red! Applied thin it pulls mostly a very dark brown, almost black. Thicker areas have a beautiful effect, and it plays nicely used with the mayco crystal effect glazes that I use. Lovely!
